Patty Griffin - Coins Chords

[Intro]

Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Thought I was rid of you once
       F                  Em
For a couple coins on the table

Forgetting when you left that day
     F                       Em
You were young and angry and able

I'd hoped I'd seen the last of you
 F                       Em
No more would I fetch or cower

But when I fed you for a tip that day
     F                         Em
You were young and hungry for power


[Chorus]
        F               Em
Then a chill came on a beam of sun
F           Em
Natural as a cancer
  F                       Em
You would never stop 'til all was won
      F                    Em
The young man with all the answers


[Instrumental]

Em          F   Em   F   Em   F   Em   F   Em


[Verse 2]
Em
That shape of love on every face
F                    Em
The ghost of loss inside you

Everyone else was just as lost
     F                   Em
And it's sad because you never knew

Now history is on your side
F             Em
Who am I to deny it?

A fiefdom for your fragile pride
F                    Em
And who would dare defy it?


[Chorus]
        F               Em
Then a chill came on a beam of sun
F           Em
Natural as a cancer
  F                       Em
You would never stop 'til all was won
      F                    Em
The young man with all the answers
